4th gen

I have a 2006 XLT with stock 17” wheels. I was wondering since I don’t know much about wheels, would Saleen or cobra wheels fit? Such as 18x9 or 18x10s? Or fr500 wheels?

As we all know aftermarket support for 4th gens is next to nothing, but since fighting this problem, I personally have come up with my own answers to the problems ford has created. Most notably, I wanted to fit a winch in the front of my vehicle while maintaining approach angle and hood looks...

hi everyone! Just wanted to show the rack i built for my 4th gen! I used my old full size bed frame. Maybe this will give out some inspiration! Anyone else rocking a flat rack? If so drop some pictures.

My first post in the forum and I figured id start a log of my build. Its pretty far along now, so next posts will be going into more detail on jobs I've already done. Shes a 2009 Eddie Bauer, with just about every option you could option in 2009. It has the 4.6 v8, with 4x4. I bought the truck...

Hi all, I tried to search for this but cannot find any reference. I need to replace the heat exchanger for the A/C and it seems I need to remove the entire dashboard. Can anyone point me to a guide/video/document that shows how to do that? Thank you all for the support Regards Tarek

Driving a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer - V6 First off.... yes, I know how silly this big lift looks on stock wheels and tires. Body lift PA 883 body lift – 3 inch Coilover Suspension lift 2006-2010 Ford Explorer 2WD & 4WD, Sport-Trac 2.5" Truxxx Front & Rear Lift Kit Bought 4 loaded KYB...

looking for the replacement instructions 90% sure the clutch has gone bad. getting a bearing wear sound on the high end before a down shift, from the front-right of the engine bay. already replaced all my idlers, tensioner and belt.

long story. someone ran a stop sign - no witness and cracked my front bumper and now im stuck repairing it. FO1000600 and inner fender extension ( bought one already) so i am looking for anyone parting out an X or ST 4th gen or selling a painted Black front bumper. *dont feel like buying a...

Hi all! This is my first post here. I've looked into your thread many times for info and advice and was hoping to get some help. I've been slowly setting up my truck for overland camping. Been waiting for my stock tires to wear out and the time has just about come. What would be the largest...

Hey I need some assistance with lifting or installing a leveling kit. I want to make my Ex better with offroading and trail riding. Because of how the suspension is set up, a suspension lift is not an option. Or is it? I take it offroad when I can and Ive only neem stuck a few times. Also, as...

Hi everyone, I searched the forums before posting but I didn't find a clear fix. When I select the floor vents barely anything comes out. I tried the face/floor selection and I only get flow from the face vents. Defrost/feet I only get flow from the defrosters. Is this a blend door issue...

Hey guys, I recently bought a ford explorer (2007 XLT 4x4) and need advice on how to upgrade it. I was thinking about a 1.5" lift kit and running 265/75/18 tires with rims 17x9 -12mm offset. I have been searching the internet and can't seem to find what I'm looking for, any suggestions? Im also...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew what the maximum tire size is I could fit on 18'' rims with stock suspension. The 235/65r18 s I have on now don't fill out the well very nicely. I was thinking maybe 265/60r18 or maybe even 265/65r18 if you guys think they would fit without rubbing. Any...

I just got a 2008 Ford Explorer XLT RWD and I want to lift it 3" any recommendations? First time lifting a car so any advice will help. Also any mods you may also recommend with the lift.:whitenavajo:

I'm an the proud owner and builder of this 08 XLT Explorer. First a little background of it and myself. I live 20 miles North of Louisville Kentucky. I work at the same Ford plant that my Explorer was built at Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP). I am luckily married to a semi understanding wife...

I have installed an android head unit and have everything working except the reverse camera. All the threads say the reverse wire is located behind the driver's side kick panel and is Black with a Pink stripe. But that is for 3rd gen. I can't find a Black with a Pink stripe on my 2006 4th gen...

Hi All... Its decided... 4.56 gears going into my 2006 4th Gen XLT 4X4 4.0L V6. Now.... what else should I do at the same time? And what gears should I go with? Are there swap options from Jeeps or other stock Fords? I have access to lots of salvage but I will probably purchase new if swap...

I was looking at the specs on the Bilstein 5100 adjustables for the f-150 part #24-122986 collapsed length 16.34" extended length 21.89" w/5.55" total travel (which can be slightly altered w/ the adjustable pre-load/spring seat collar) and was wondering if I could use them on my '07 Explorer...

Hi all, I've all but decided to join the ranks of Explorer owners - seem to be good value, reliable trucks that meet the needs of a growing family. I'm having difficulty deciding whether I should go for a late model 3rd gen (04 or 05) or a an 06 4th gen (my budget won't really allow for a...

I've read here and there, that the newer tail lights on '06+ Ex's will fit (the body) on the 02-05... but with some wiring modification (I think the 4th gen tail light has 3 Bulbs instead of 2). Has anyone tried this and possibly have pics??? I've looked at other aftermarket ones and I...
